Pushing those peddles!

Well I have completed my first day of riding, and it was.... Challenging, beautiful, inspiring and mind opening. I left Seattle and it was a nice ride on the Burke Gilman Tail and it was so beautiful and it was a great ride. The trail took me all the way to the top of Lake Washington and that's when I started riding on roads. There'd were some great roads with nice wide shoulders today and there were some that didn't have as much.

 The weather was sunny all day and it was hot. Drank lots of water and ate a few of my go-tos, PB&J. There was a section where I missed a road be that took me about 10 miles out of my way.

 I met a guy who pulled over to the side of the road to ask where I was sleeping and offered his place to hang for a bit. He has 2 great dogs and a BEAUTIFUL view off his deck. Took a seat on the chair and I think this is where I'll be saying tonight... Got about 60 miles in today and the bum is definitely sore! I have a full day of riding tomorrow and it's all hills as I approach the Cascade Mountains. 

Not the 90 I was hoping for but its all hills tomorrow, and hills are no joke on this beast! Hopefully get 90 in tomorrow, we will see what happens. Found a sleeping mat on the side of the road and decided I should recycle by reusing it... There is also a pic of Dan's camper that he made and it's only 80lbs.  Cheers mates!
